Abstract

Nurse practitioner faculty identified student struggles to gain diagnostic reasoning competence. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing developed a clinical judgment action model (CJAM) for the NCLEX (NextGen) that can be used in prelicensure nursing education to design educational interventions and has potential applicability toward diagnostic reasoning development in nurse practitioner students. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the impact of a didactic education intervention aligned with the CJAM on the development of clinical reasoning cognitive skills. The use of the CJAM demonstrated a positive outcome among nurse practitioner students in clinical reasoning development.
